Isolation Lyrics

One more evening spent in isolation

Bourgeoning

As the red moon rises

The primrose opening for the moonlight

Yellow gowns with knots tied between their thighs

The blooms that foretell

A summer of sighs and signs

And secret lines crossed

Like water wearing rock

Time's metamorphic clock

And the supple flesh that time forgot

Time's metamorphic clock

And the supple flesh that time forgot

When touched, dreams become a reality

But as they unfold, Nightmares roam freely

And gallop upon the chests of you and me

The 3-headed flow of the headless deity

Dancing upon the bodies of you and me

And as night goes on so blood does stream

And as night goes on so blood does stream

Morning comes in a red wet gown

With the smell of mist and the rushing sound

The birds follow her

As she wanders along

A marriage of song and dawn

Water sweet and freshly drawn

As the birds murmur their ancient song

As the birds murmur their ancient song

"Oh how the floods of madness are about face

Appealing to her we spend our days

Upon a lifetime in tangled maize

Singing of Tara queen of water

Tara, Tara!"

And I reply in kind, for my mind is also of Rind:

"Remember Demeter's golden face?

Meet Selene's silent cold gaze

Do they remind you of the far-gone days?

Before the sun gods plowed and raped?

Hung the chosen ones from Hades Gate?

Before civilization cut its face

From secret wonder to bloody race?"

And they sang back

And they sang back:

"The golden fleece is gone without a trace

And is regiven only to those who know her name!"

And I said her name, and I said her name

Clarity come with me, as I return as luminary

Set the double ax strongly within me

As the voice of the road burns and groans beneath me

As the power of water rises to meet me

Not in defeat

But in the simple purity of love replete
